Can You Really Have a Credit Limit Over $100k

I know there are charge cards that don’t have a clearly stated limit, but rather an internal one based on your relationship with the issuer. That said, does anyone have a proper credit card that offers a limit over $100k? How did you manage to get such a high limit? I’m specifically referring to the limit on one card only.

You need to have an income that can back up that kind of borrowing. You can have an 800 credit score, but if your income is 100k, getting that limit is unlikely. You probably need a hefty seven-figure income.

@Mark
Exactly, if you have seven figures then you might see a 100k limit; otherwise, you’re out of luck.

@Mark
That makes sense - why would they give someone the ability to borrow so much if they can’t realistically pay it back.

Just because YOU might not be able to pay it back doesn’t mean others can’t handle a large credit limit.

@Lilnim
Lol, what? They’re pointing out that someone with a $100k income likely can’t pay off $100k in revolving debt all at once. No bank would trust that.

I have a Capital One Venture card with a 119k limit. So it’s definitely possible.

That’s interesting. I’m considering that card but have never had a miles card instead of a points card. Can you redeem the miles for things like gift cards?

@gregory
If you redeem for anything other than travel statement credits or transfers to partners, you’ll only get 0.5 cents per point.

@gregory
I usually transfer to partner airlines for business class flights.

That’s exactly what I do too.

How long have you had the card or account?

I got the card in 2022 and started with a 30k limit. In 2023, I received an offer to increase my limit to over 100k, ending up at 119k.

@Caiden
Wow, I have the Capital One SavorOne and they’re stingy with my limit increases.

@Caiden
Do you put a lot of spending on it?

Mmhm, but the limit is small - 1.5k.

I wasn’t asking you.

Sorry, I thought you were the original poster.

Impressive! I thought the limit only went up to 50k.
